Who is afraid of Religion?

Symposium to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Chair for Religion & Development at ISS

Religion is a vital source of inspiration in many societies. Development cooperation, however, mostly works through other channels than religion. This symposium investigated whether this should change. The event was held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ISS Chair of Religion and Development, held by Prof. Gerrie ter Haar. Members of the panel were among others Islamic reformer Tariq Ramadan, liberal rabbi Awraham Soetendorp and Hivos' pluralism programme co-chair Ute Seela.
